I agree. The racing in 2014 was of a higher quality. I put that down entirely to the virtually identical noses and the increased number of winglets and aerodynamic surfaces on the front wings in 2015. This year […]

The best Le Mans I’ve ever watched, including the ones I attended live (2008, 2011, 2013). The racing was relentless. Brilliant result for Nico Hulkenberg, Mark Webber, Brendon Hartley, Neel Jani and the rest of […]

Agreed. 2014 was actually quite exciting overall I thought, but 2015 has returned to the processional “racing” of past seasons. It’s made infinitely worse by the woes of Renault and Honda. And now Bernie et al are […]

The races in 2014 were generally very good. During the China race Martin Brundle (on SkyF1) noted that the cars this year with the new noses seem to be more susceptible to hot and turbulent air running behind […]

In your job if you get less salary next year than this year, what does that mean to you? You’d accept that as fair even if you’re regularly seen as one of the top two practitioners in your field? Is Mercedes […]

The implication (and I don’t remember hearing it anywhere) that Rosberg didn’t suffer a similar ignominy in his recent contract negotiations. Pay is a direct indication of how you are valued now and in the future […]

Wolff said “it” was unacceptable. I think this plays into Mercedes’ hands: they now have a good reason to impose team orders which I think they wanted all along. I don’t buy the Nikki-Toto good cop-bad cop […]

@f1andy83 a 1? Really? That was a very enjoyable race. Even if your preferred driver didn’t win, you’re going to give a score of 1 to a race with a surfeit of action, plenty of overtakes and a brand new winner and […]

I gave it an 8. I didn’t think the racing was quite at the same level as Bahrain (I wasn’t hyperventilating this time). I’m very happy for Ricciardo but had Mercedes not had problems no-one else would be close to […]

Chilton comes in for a bit of flack but he’s not a bad driver: he’s beaten Bianchi fair and square, and he’s no slouch. Maybe he’s not in Hamilton’s league (probably only Alonso is) but he’s not the worst either.

Seconded w.r.t. Grosjean. I have to believe and hope that his case is being pressed strenuously by Bouiller at McLaren. That said, who would be moved out? You would have thought it would be Button but since […]

Remember, Ross Brawn was only visiting to see his old buddies at Maranello while on an extended wine country tour. The fact that he’s the architect responsible for Mercedes’ domination this year had *absolutely […]
